Jefferson, Madison and all the rest on our forefathers set up this piece of real-estate we call America with one single item that would hold all this together: The Constitution.
.
Every office holder, civil servent, soldier and especially those elected to the highest offices of this land do not give their allegence to a flag, a country or any other “ideals” we may call America … They hold up their right hand and swear to uphold, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
.
For some ungodly reason you Republicans have twisted and have excused your deeds and your actions to do just the opposite of what you swore to do against that sacred piece of parchment. So yes, simply yes, you my dear Republicans have become irrelevent.
.
“To the extent that the Constitution and laws are read narrowly, as Jefferson wished, the Chief Executive will on occasion feel duty bound to assert monarchical notions of the prerogative that will permit him to exceed the law.” – Dick Cheney (Minority Report, Iran-Contra Committee)

Waiting for the end run, letting the people foolish enough to weaken their positions do so.

Can it really be true? Can Americans really have learned not to duck their heads in fear and obey the man whenever the GOP yells “Boo”?

I’m not so sure. If there’s another truly scarey event, I think the American public might just go running right back to their most unlikely heroes ever, the GOP. And they’ll be ready.

We’ve known before that the GOP was lousy at national security and could not manage money (see Nixon Era). We learned nothing from that.
Do you think anyone has really learned from the latest catastrophes?

This time Americans only turned away from the GOP when it was too late–and then only because their pocketbooks felt light. I worry, with history behind me, that they will run right back the next time they get scared–because no one knows how to use fear like a Republican.

It is just mind boggling that the Repubes can talk about Obama increasing our vulnerability to a terrorist attack when 9/ll happened on their watch. If the Dems had been in power when this occurred they would have been denounced beyond belief. They would have been crucified. The Repubes have no shame. This type of talk from the Repubes is what I think is actually increasing our risk. They are suggesting that our president is weak and vulnerable and thus telling the world to come attack us because nobody is looking. It’s highly irresponsible. However, the Repubes simply do not really care about the consequences of their actions. They will stoop to any level of behavior to smear somebody. Boehner is a big gas bag and I can’t stand listending to him. He is utterly insincere and dishonest.

We all must remember that the current repubs mindset was there all the time. They hid it well behind their moderates. With only a few moderates left, it’s out there for all to see, glaring, and it’s UGLY!!

I feel slightly sorry for the moderates in the Republican party – but they should have spoken up a long time ago when there was more of them and the insanity really went off the deep end with Bush. So to some extent – it’s a bed they made, now they can sleep in it. Or they could switch parties!

And I couldn’t agree more – 9/11 happened on THEIR WATCH!!!!! They had the White House and Congress.

Where’s this GOP of smaller government, freedom, individual achievement, bleh, bleh, bleh? (By the way, I think those are universal desires, not just rethuglican ones). Instead the GOP wants to monitor your email, your phone calls, torture you if they suspect comportment with the enemy, pry into your bedroom, your marriage plans, require you have unwanted babies, and make sure your kids pray in school and everyone salutes Moses’ tablets in front of courthouses. Oh, and not pay taxes while bitching about crumbling infrastructure, shrinking defense budgets and poor schools. Yeesh. I think most conservatives would enjoy their lives better if they lived in Iran. They could bask in a theocracy, which is what they want in the U.S.

The Republicans do not seem to understand that the majority of people have a big problem with everything they have come to represent. They have no ideas; all they have to offer is more of what has demonstrably failed and been rejected. Republicans represent wars we should not enter and cannot get out of, decisions made based upon religious and philosophical dogma rather than science, subjugating the life support system of our planet to the monetary demands of corporations and anti-intellectual appeals to the lowest common denominator rather than risking reasoned political debate. They have nothing to offer and nothing we want, and nothing they have to say about Obama is worth hearing.

The irony, of course, is that Obama’s foreign policy approach is probably the most popular part of his agenda right now.

I know Rovian doctrine says you attack your opponent at their strongest point (with the most despicable lies you can dream up) but this is ridiculous.

The true Repubs sold their souls to the religious zealots of their party for votes. And it worked for a while. Now that, that game has played out, all that is left is the religious zealots. They want a country (theocracy) that never existed and never will. Folks came here at the beginning to excape religious rule. But try and tell the GOP religious zealots that and they go nuts claiming this is a Christian nation. No, we are a nation that happens to be made up of the majority of people who happen to be Christian. That’s a big difference.
